This is an R134A refrigerant recharge kit with a charge hose, a pressure gauge, a can tap valve and a low-side quick coupler. It is used for charging automotive A/C systems, and it also works with home air conditioners. It works with R-134a, R-12 and R-22 refrigerant, and it is designed only for piercing-type R-134a bottles.
The can tap valve and the quick coupler are made of aluminum alloy. The can tap is the self-piercing type, with a T-type knob and an internal pin with a sharp tip. Its 1/2" female thread screws onto the 1/2" male thread of the refrigerant bottle opening. The quick coupler is a 90-degree push-and-lock design with auto shut-off, an anti-slip grip ring and internal ball bearings.
The gauge has a large, color-coded dial with a Celsius scale and a no-flutter pointer. The scale marks LOW, FULL, ALERT and DANGER. If the needle does not rest at 0 psi, open the lid on the gauge and adjust the knob before use. The 1/2" ACME connector must be fully secured, especially on vehicles with shallow spaces or hard-to-reach connectors. If it leaks, detach the hose and connect it again.
